“I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy and tailor our sessions to your needs.”

Throughout my life, I have always been fascinated by how the brain works and how it influences our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. In college, I studied the impacts that trauma has on our brains through neuroscience research. I always thought I would have a career in a research lab, until I had my first internship at a private practice. There, I saw the impact of therapy and watched the power of human connection unfold.

With over a decade of experience working with addiction and mental health, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to grow into their best self. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy and tailor our sessions to your needs. I use evidenced based practices in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I am trauma informed and believe you are the expert of your own life. Having a strong support system can help individuals prevail over challenges and maintain a state of physical and mental well-being – let’s connect so I can be a support to you!

If You Could Have Dinner With Anyone

I would love to sit down to a meal with Anthony Bourdain. I am a huge fan of his and enjoyed watching his shows on television. He was a great storyteller and I loved how he made food and travel about connection to humanity.

Ever Won A Contest?

I am a proud recipient of my high school’s “Most Friendliest” Award two years in a row.

Favorite Trip?

Ireland. I was fascinated to see a new place, eat local food, and see how other people around the world live. We traveled down the west coast of Ireland. The beaches are so beautiful, and the food was amazing!

Kind Words From Real Patients

“No practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has.”

“I have been to many therapists for trauma work but no practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has. This practice is based on mutual trust. Your therapist will happily share bits of their own life experiences. This always makes me feel less alone in what I am experiencing and make sessions feel so comfortable. I really think this practice is something special and I am SO happy I found it when I did.”

“Therapy for Women empowers clients to see change in themselves.”

“Therapy for Women offers a fresh and modern approach to therapy which involves empowering clients to see change in themselves. They give you tools to supplement what’s talked about in session so you can go home and practice life skills. This step has been so crucial for my long-term recovery and emotional stability. The therapists genuinely care for each client. No matter why you go to Therapy for Women, these women WILL change your life. I really can’t thank them enough.”

“Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“In addition to individual therapy, I'm in a weekly group. I've created wonderful friendships here. It's also functioned as a safe space for me to experiment with things like stating my needs, getting vulnerable, setting boundaries, and receiving feedback from a non-therapist. Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“They just genuinely care about their patients.”

"I found this center when I needed it most in life. They matched me with a few therapists and first time was a charm. The center itself is very quick to act if you need anything. I see a psychiatrist within the practice as well and he too is amazing. They just genuinely care about their patients. You don’t feel like a time slot to them."

“…the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match.”

"Finding the right therapist is the hardest journey when you are already at your worst. I've tried multiple and none were working for me. But then I was told about Therapy for Women Center and the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match. We've been together coming on 2 years and she has really been amazing."

“The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease.”

"Happy to have found Therapy for Women Center. I can feel a change in my thinking and lifestyle and it is a huge difference from a year ago. So grateful! The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease."
